Plans are currently underway for the establishment of a Regional Consumer Protection and Competition Act.
This was revealed to Fijivillage by the Fiji Commerce Commission CEO Joel Abraham who says that this will allow the heads of various agencies to meet and discuss certain issues regarding the Commissions.
Abraham says this will also enable them to establish a network on consumer protection.
Minister for Industry Trade and Tourism Faiyaz Koya says the Ministry is also working towards the strengthening of Fiji’s Competition Policy document which is the Commerce Commission Act 2010.
Koya says the policy encompasses more fundamental aspects of economic policy that is aimed at applying rules to make sure businesses compete fairly and on a level platform.
